My name is S.L. Pierce and I am the author of a book, two gritty short stories, and a free short story. I haven't posted a link because they are available Amazon, Smashwords, and Barnes and Noble. The free short story is only at Smashwords.
Secrets (a mystery/thriller) 99 cents
Gwen Michaels moved to California for a fresh start two years ago. She has a great job, a great guy, a great life.
But someone wants her dead.
Someone who thinks she's knows a secret.
A secret worth killing over.
But they don't know what they're getting into, because Gwen isn't just anyone. And they're going to find that out the hard way.
The Hate (two gritty short stories) 99 cents
Try these gritty short stories, but only if you're ready for the shocking endings.
How could someone assassinate the American president? Manhunt, the murder of the president with a killer twist.
What if someone killed the only thing you had left to live for? Would you give up or get even? The Hate, a short story of revenge.
Still not sure? Try my gritty short, The Warning, free at Smashwords
